| Clint Eastwood's HiFi Given the size of the lo freq driver, the size of the speaker, and the corner location my guess is some version of a klipschorn although none that I have ever seen. | |
| Good Sounding Speaker that Won't Attract Thieves? Depends on the quality of the speakers - I doubt that any self respecting second rate crack head would steal anything sold in a big box store. No, most thieves would likely only steal something after several auditions. So long as the abode is brok... | |
| Best Pre for ATC 100's Fluffers: You referred to softening the sound; could you provide a little more desciption as what it is that you are trying to get rid of in the sound and the conditions under which you are experiencing the problem - i.e size of room, spl levels etc. | |
| Thoughts on pairing a c46 with mc402/b&w 803d? Dwmdc: At the risk of providing you with information that is not completely on point, I run a pair of 803s's with an mC402/c45 and get good results. I believe the C45 and C46 are fairly similar sonically in a two channel system with the respective... | |
| Least compressed Shadorne: "Frozen Wasteland" very nice; lyrics are spot on. I do have Black Ice and just recieved the Aerosmith box. Agree, some of the better remasters of rock. | |
| Best speakers for home theater/voice clarity? Up front, my sugggestion will fly in the face of audiophile dogma - but it may solve your problem. Many speakers have what could be called 'loudness' built into the design - an emphasis on the highs and lows - you may have to search a bit to find ... | |
| pc vs mac, eac vs itunes Al: You hit the nail on the head as to one of my concerns. The more common and generic an item the better the chance of being able to replace it when it fails. If I can avoid the more specialized system parts and still accomplish the same end resu... | |
| pc vs mac, eac vs itunes Sufentanil: As my music collection is too large for one 1TB drive I am considering using two such drives and saving copies of those two drives to two external 1TB drives as backup. Is there any reason that this is not feasible? Will playback softw... | |
| pc vs mac, eac vs itunes Sufentanil: You raise an important issue as to going with a RAID. As between RAID and concantenating individual drives (JBOD) RAID is probably a better idea. My understanding is that RAID or JBOD has the primary advantage of allowing the system to... | |
| pc vs mac, eac vs itunes How much memory required per CD (or per 1000 CDs if that is easier) to store in WAV or AIFF? How much to store in a lossless compressed format? | |
| pc vs mac, eac vs itunes Sufentanil: I plan on dedicating the hardware to the music system, i.e., no other uses but for music. | |
| Best way to save cd collection? I would also be interested in the experience of those who have made the obviously wise transition to non-cd digital storage. A quick review of the forums at computer audiophile reveals a potpourri of choices to be made; not only for storage of exi... | |
| Benchmark DAC-1 vs DAC-1 HDR Is anyone running a Benchmark DAC-1 output to a preamp rather than directly to an amp (i.e CDP to DAC-1 to Preamp to amp)? Even better, is anyone running it to a Mcintosh solid state preamp? If so, what attenuator setting did you use ? Additionall... | |
| interested in exploring classical A good place to start sampling is a radio station. Most cities have an FM station at the bottom of the dial - usually npr and connected to a university. As far as selecting music - at some point pick up the Gramophone Classical Music Guide and the... | |
| The old timers give the young'ns tips on the 60s. "Cheap Thrills" (Janis Joplin, Big Brother and the Holding Company) - a defining 60's album - (and of course the Beatles White Album and Sgt. Peppers) |
